Help grow Fort Collins' urban forest by purchasing a new tree for your home! Through the Rooted in Community Tree Sale (formerly known as the Community Canopy Program), Fort Collins residents are invited to purchase discounted locally grown trees to plant on their property.

Trees will be available to Fort Collins residents for $25 each starting Monday, Aug. 24 at 8 a.m. These trees will help homeowners lower energy costs, filter air and water, reduce stormwater runoff and slow climate change.

Rooted in Community Tree Sale purchases will be made through WebTrac, the Recreation Department's online registration software. For an easy checkout process, please ensure you have access to an online account before the sale is available to the public.
